Hi there,
I'm using Nagios and Check_Openmange to keep an eye on some Dell R710 servers
we've recently acquired, and I'm having problems trying to stop warnings with
non-dell certified drives appearing in the alert log.
I've separated out the different components on the servers to check into their
own nagios checks - so my config files appear as such:
In nagios:
SERVICES.CFG
<host>
Check_command check_dell_components!memory
<host>
Check_command check_dell_components!alertlog
COMMANDS.CFG
Command_name Check_dell_components
Command_line check_nrpe -H $HOSTADDRESS$ -p 5666 -t 30 -c Check_OpenManage -a "
-only $ARG1$"
On each Server in nsclient.ini:
Check_OpenManage = scripts\\check_openmanage.exe $ARG1$ --perfdata
The problem I'm having is that in one of my checks that checks the health of
the alert log, I'm getting a consistent warning message (Alert log content: 0
critical, 6 non-critical, 36 ok ). I've traced this down to the 6 non-dell
certified drives in the server, and I can indeed see within OMSA that the only
6 warnings all state "Controller event log: PD 04(e0x20/s4) is not a certified
drive: Controller 0 (PERC 6/i Integrated)".
So far, so good. Reading through the documentation I can see the
Check_Openmanage includes a blacklisting option specifically for this event
"pdisk_cert - Suppress warning message about non-certified physical disk" but
no matter what I try, I can't seem to get Check_Openmanage to ignore these
problems. An example of the command I'm running on the command line is:
check_openmanage.exe -s -a -b pdisk_cert=all
Which returns:
WARNING: Alert log content: 0 critical, 6 non-critical, 36 ok
Now I'm assuming the problem here is being caused by the Alert Log generating
the errors, and not the physical disk directly causing the errors, which is why
blacklisting the certificate problem on the physical disk isn't doing me any
good.
Which leads me onto my question - is there anything I can do to ignore these
errors (and thus stop Nagios from complaining) apart from excluding the alert
log when I do my checks?
Many thanks.
